They don't realize that people don't just want content. They want better usability and at least minorly improved features. The fact that they are charging for any new features they bring out is the reason people are leaving. Blizzard doesn't care about it's customers as people at all, just about the money. And yes that is all companies but with Blizzard you can really feel it and that is why more and more people are leaving them.
Oh man, I didn't know how angry something like this could make me. I am more than ok with them charging for character transfers and all that stuff and all the digital pets. That really doesn't affect game play too much. But charging for innovation/new features... I feel like I'm about to burst out in a string of cursing. If they do start charging I will actively start searching for a new MMO to get all of my friends onto because I know the only thing they see is voting with my money. In the grand scheme I know my one account doesn't matter... but we can't reward a company for charging for any little change and new feature they add because next thing you know, they will start charging for patches, bug fixes and the like stating that you paid to play the game as it is, you want more, then you gotta pay more.
